Recommendation

According to the US National Intelligence Council, four “megatrends” will shape global affairs through 2024. While no one can predict the future with accuracy, nations and organizations should prepare for these eventualities. Aspen Ideas Festival’s panel of experts – comprising specialists across the realms of business, politics and society – candidly discusses what these imminent shifts portend for the world. getAbstract recommends this authoritative, accessible – though loosely structured – conversation to futurists, politicians, multinational executives and global strategists.

Take-Aways

  • Four “megatrends” – “accelerated individual empowerment, diffused power among and within countries, novel and diverging demographic patterns, and growing natural resource demand” – will shape global dynamics through 2024.
  • The locus of global political, economic and military power is shifting from the West to the Indo-Pacific region.
  • The United States’ position as a global hegemon is waning, which may create an apolar world where multinational arrangements such as the G20 have most authority.
